Nokia RX-51 Tablet Captured in the Wild
,----[ Quote ]
| The N900, as we are calling it now, can be termed an upgrade over the N97.
| The device features a full QWERTY keyboard and a huge 3.5-inch touch screen
| capable of WVGA resolution (800x480). It is expected to run the upcoming
| Maeomo5 OS, the latest version of the Linux based smartphone OS that Nokia
| uses for its lineup of tablet devices. That, we believe, would be the major
| difference between this one and the N97 which runs on the more "mass market"
| Series 60 Fifth Edition OS.

Is the Nokia N900 Internet Tablet really coming to T-Mobile USA
,----[ Quote ]
| I enjoy using the Nokia N810 device from time to time to surf, use some old
| Palm apps with GarnetVM, and watch movies. I do find it to be a bit laggy at
| times though so it isnât always with me. MobileCrunch posted some rumored
| news on the next Nokia Internet Tablet referred to as the N900, Rover, and
| Maemo Flagship. It is very similar to the Nokia N97, but with a higher
| resolution display and Maemo OS rather than S60.
